    Maybe just try to not use AS MUCH butter. In all honesty though it won't hurt you to eat butter as long as you don't make it a habit to eat gobs of delicious melted garlic butter.

    This whole thing is about balance, if you deprive yourself too much you may find yourself not sticking to this and the whole idea is to find a plan you can stick to permanently.

    Have fun and don't beat yourself up. :)

    Wild abandon.

    ^^Great answer!

    I just eat it. It's actually really good plain! Otherwise lemon is a great partner for Lobster or any seafood :)

    I prefer mine with mayo.

    I'm quite sure that's the only way I WOULDN'T eat lobster...

    This is why we can never be friends. :frown:

    Ghee? Jk...if you are trying to keep the calories low the only things I can think of are lemon juice and maybe cocktail sauce? It would depend on how the sauce was made to know if it would be a lower calorie choice though...

    Unless you're eating butter drenched lobster everyday, this should be an indulgence that you just enjoy. We all need those.

    Cut back on other things. No potatoes, rolls, buttery rice, cheese etc for this meal. EXTRA lobster and butter.

    Hope you have a gret time.

    Lemon. Although nothing is good too. If you really like the butter, though, have some. One meal with butter isn't going to derail your whole journey!

    1. Do all the work upfront so you have a big plate of lobster.

    2. Squeezy squeeze some lemon over the pile of lobster.

    3. Drizzle some butter over all that lovely lobster.

    4. Do the lobster dance!


    Seriously, set aside 200 cals for 2 Tblspns of butter and enjoy. Eat other things besides just lobster. Move more today and tomorrow. Eat less tomorrow. Just enjoy the day.

    There are "only" 405 calories in 1/2 a stick (1/4 cup) of butter. Just record them and enjoy your lobster. You can spread those 405 calories out over a few days deficit if you want.

    I acutally like lemon with sea food way more than butter. Try lemon... or a mixture of lemon juice with butter which will mean less butter?

    A sprinkle of lemon pepper if you must...

    IMHO a steamed lobster just plain is heaven...

    This one was about 5 or 6 pounds of heaven...

    We Canadians are split on the subject of mayo versus butter with lobster. I like the mayo. Try a small amount of low-fat mayo instead of butter.

    I don't know why you'd avoid butter, but lemon is good too.

    Same. I could have butter with lobster but I like it with lemon-only better.

    No way! It's amazing! Lobster salad sandwiches!

    Also, my Dad always toasts English muffins, butters those and puts the lobster on top. Delicious!
